If you go Cocoa-Java, then you lose all the cross platform goodness of Java
because you are using the Native Cocoa Frameworks (bridged from Java to
Obj-C) which does not exist on Windows. If cross platform is your primary
design goal, then write pure java/swing apps.
That being said, I did write a Cocoa-Java App and found it really nice to
have the Cocoa extensions to Java, and especially Quartz, but realized full
well that I would never run the app on another platform.
If you really want to have a native Cocoa Gui, then completely abstract
the controller/model code from any view code, then you can write a Cocoa GUI
and a Swing GUI (Also have been down this road) for your app.
